en.Wedoany.com Reported - Alleima has officially inaugurated its Tube Mill 2026 production facility in Sandviken, Sweden, with a total investment of approximately SEK 330 million, aimed at meeting the growing demand from traditional nuclear power and small modular reactors (SMRs).

The expansion includes upgrading and restarting one of Alleima's steam generator tube production lines, increasing its nuclear power tube capacity by approximately 60%. The entire project has been completed as planned and will be operational in 2026. The company has a solid order backlog extending several years into the future.

"The inauguration of Tube Mill 2026 is a significant milestone for Alleima," said CEO Göran Björkman. "By upgrading and restarting the tube mill, we have enhanced our ability to meet the growing demand in the nuclear power sector, including both traditional nuclear power plants and SMRs. This is a core part of the company's strategy and demonstrates that we are a leading supplier of high-tech products based on quality, reliability, and long-term industry experience."

For over 60 years, Alleima has supplied critical components to the global nuclear power industry. The company already has approximately 300 employees directly involved in nuclear power operations, and this expansion will add nearly 100 more. In addition to traditional nuclear power, the company sees significant potential in SMRs, with major technology companies recently showing interest in nuclear power due to the demand for round-the-clock fossil-free electricity for data centers.

Key customers from the nuclear power industry attended the inauguration ceremony, including Doosan Enerbility, NuScale Power, Rolls-Royce SMR, and Westinghouse.

"Today, we welcome customers from around the world to Sandviken," said Carl von Schantz, President of the Tube Division. "This demonstrates that we are a reliable, stable, and long-term partner, manufacturing world-leading products for extremely demanding environments. Maintaining close cooperation with our customers is crucial, and we are very pleased to celebrate this moment together."

Alleima supplies fuel cladding tubes, steam generator tubes, and nuclear-grade components, and conducts research on tubes for future cooling technologies.
